Fashion Bloggers: From The Street To The Front Row

21.05.12

The 19-year is waif-like and waddles in her chunky black heels as she picks up her daughter and stands next to her boyfriend at the cash register. We had just visited the BCBG Max Azria showroom, where Struble spent less than 15-mintues choosing a few outfits for her big first trip to New York Fashion Week. While most teens would be giddy and perhaps overwhelmed to be in a designer showroom shopping for such a big event, Struble handles it like a fashion veteran. She is poised, decisive, and takes it all with a grain of salt.

“Its fun, but you can’t take anything too seriously. I have other priorities, like my daughter”, she says.

The Business of Blogging

What may seem like arrogance from an unappreciative teenager is actually the maturity and humility of a young-adult. In August of 2010 Struble's cousin introduced her to the “blogging world”, as she affectionately calls it. Within a mere two years of launching her blog, “Snake's Nest”, she has managed to get over 40,000 hits per day, been offered endorsements by big brands like Levi’s and Dr.Maartens, and even has had her picture plastered on a t-shirt by European clothing company, Bershka.
